Barry Watson - Star of WBTV's 7th Heaven. WB execs like the idea of using someone "in-house." Apparently tested very well.

Meanwhile, SuperHeroHype.com recieved the following from one of their sources about the budgetary concerns...

The pre-production for "Superman: The Flight" located at the L.A. Center Studios had the plug pulled on Monday due to a swelling budget that was approaching the distinction of "Most costly film ever made." The production will be moved to Canada to save dollars once space has been secured.
